Rolta India Limited and NIIRS10 Enter Strategic Agreement

Mumbai, India - December 15, 2005 - Rolta India Limited (Mumbai, India) has entered into a strategic agreement with NIIRS10 (Madison, AL, USA) for providing the GeoCue product family of geospatial process management solutions for LIDAR and general geospatial workflow management in India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Rolta has more than 70% market share in the GIS/Photogrammetry market in India and is the primary solutions provider to nodal agencies in Survey, Defence, Space, Environment, Hydrology, Telecom, Electric, among others. Rolta is also recognized as one of the world leaders in providing Geospatial Information Technology and Digital mapping services. The association with NIIRS10 will further strengthen Rolta's capabilities in providing cutting edge Geo-engineering solutions and services in large scale mapping using photogrammetry and LIDAR technologies.

LIDAR technology has revolutionized the method of collecting the finest details of the earth's surface from an aircraft fitted with a LIDAR sensor. LIDAR data processing brings about a phenomenal improvement in accuracy and resolution of details of the earth's surface and dramatically reduces the work involved in the production of Orthophotos. Bringing together several thousand man-years of geospatial technology experience with LIDAR technology understanding, Rolta is now fully equipped to offer geospatial process management solutions and enhanced services for orthophoto generation to its customers.

Lewis Graham, President of NIIRS10 said "We are very pleased that Rolta has elected to join us as a distribution partner. Rolta is a premiere supplier of solutions for complex geospatial implementations and we believe that GeoCue will provide them an excellent framework for enterprise integration."

A.D. Tayal, Jt. Managing Director of Rolta India Limited said "The agreement between Rolta and NIIRS10 will play a vital role in Rolta's enhanced participation in LIDAR technology and thereby delivering high value solutions to our esteemed customers."

INGEO2017, the 7th International Conference on Engineering Surveying, a FIG event, brings together two communities - engineering surveyors and civil engineers – gathered by a common interest: monitoring and safety evaluation of civil engineering structures.

As America moves forward we must bring our infrastructure with us. Whether new construction, renovation, or remodel 99% of projects require models and drawings. The original erectors of America used tape measures and builder’s levels; now the most advanced contractors, engineers, and surveyors utilize laser scanning. Collecting 1 million measurements per second allows the creation of as-built models and drawings with unprecedented levels of detail and speed. Learn how to extract value from a point cloud, and more importantly, learn how point clouds will save money and make jobs easier with the proper 3D laser scanning hardware and software offerings.

3D laser scanning is viewed by many in the AEC industry as having a very specific application that primarily involves MEP documentation and construction verification. However, 3D laser scanning has many other applications that involve the architecture and design industry that often gets overlooked or discarded as irrelevant. Accurate as-builts are becoming more important for architects in the design process ranging from general remodeling to adaptive reuse to coordination with consultants. Interior designers have found a use for 3D laser scanning in not only documenting the space for furniture layouts and spacial studies, but also for quick photorealistic renderings and lighting studies if a 3D model is developed. Even property management companies have started embracing scanning as a quick and accurate method of generating BOMA calculations.

We began by creating a survey as a cooperative effort between several high level geospatial leaders, POB staff, and Clear Seas Research market research experts. The survey was sent out to more than 25,000 geospatial professionals who subscribe to POB and/or are members of MAPPS.
